Welcome to Aortarepair.com! The website is dedicated to Diseases of the Aorta, Research, and helping patients get the best medical care.

Mission Statement:

At Aortarepair.com we hope to provide a better, comprehensive understanding of conditions of the aorta to all patients and their loved ones.

The main purpose of this website is to act as a excellent reference for many patients exploring the world of aortic diseases. This site can offer you the first of many resources for your health management.

In addtion to this website, we encourage you to search physicians who specialize in aortic conditions at major teaching institutions near your home. We provide a list of aortic centers in the United States which are well known for their interest in diseases of the aorta and are leaders in research and patient care.

When you finally narrow down the doctor(s) who will help treat your condition, you should go to www.pubmed.org and type in the name of the doctor in the search engine. You should be looking for the number and type of published articles this doctor has performed in the field of aortic diseases. If the doctor you have chosen to care for your condition has numerous articles on the subject then he/she has an interest in the condition beyond their clinical practice.

You want to make sure that the individual who is caring for your condition can provide various treatment options and not only one option. In some cases an doctor may only provide one option because that is the only procedure or treatment he/she knows how to or can perform. You best bet is to travel to one of the respected aortic centers in the United States.
